WORK WORK WORK ETC.

This week in world geography was really busy. On monday we just relaxed becuase we were ahead of the other classes. This really helped me since i was packed with homework from all my other teachers. On tuesday we went on to learn about religion. We had an assignment to do with this topic. We had to make a poster showing all the facts about are religion. we also had to draw a map showing where this religion was followed as well as make 5 question that could be answered from our poster. This was a lot of work, but my group was really on task and fun to work with with, so i enjoyed this assignment. On wednesday we took a map test over the middle east. it wasn't that hard even though i hadn't studied the night before because i forgot! On thursday we continued to work on our assignment and today we presented them. I think my group did a good job. Overall this was a busy week in world Geography.
This week, i stayed pretty much at home. I was packed with homework as i have already told you before, so this was pretty much just a work week. We had to complete an argument paper about illegal immigration in the u.s. I said to keep them because we need them. Austin agrees with me well. This city is very liberal which means it is very free and not that strict. We don't hate gay people here. That is just Austin. if you want some freedom this is the place for you. We have a lto of music here since austin is the music capital in texas! If you want a great vacation this palce is for you. I also was introduced to 2 field trips. One is to seas world and one is to all these aquifers in texas. I am really excited. Finally!!!! a break from school!

BUSY BUSY BUSY WEEK

This week in world geogrpahy we started literally learning about southwest Asia. Even though we had already started the unit last week, we actually started to learn it this week. When we start a unit we just draw the maps and do the vocab. This week our teacher actually started teaching us about Southwest Asia. We first learned about the water conflict in southwest Asia. It doesn't get much water during the year, so you have to live by a body of water in order to get a constant supply of water. We then started learning about Iraq. We learned it's history and back round information. I enjoyed this a lot. We had a little activity this week about whether the ethnic group we were assigned would split from Iraq and become a separate country or if we should stay united with Iraq. My group decided to split, but once we debated about the topic, we changed our mind to stay with Iraq.
This week i didn't do much. I went to a party on Monday which was really fun. i got to see my friends and catch up with them. I don't see them much due to all the homework i get :(. Some bad news this week was that i found out i can't go to Israel this summer. This group i asked to go to Israel with said they were full and couldn't take me. I was kind of disappointed, but i moved on. I believe that you can't always look at the past. You have to move on with your life. Even though this week had it's ups and downs, it was a pretty good week.
